RUGBY

2011 USA SEVENS RUGBY TOURNAMENT

SECOND YEAR IN A ROW FOR THIS EVENT IN LAS VEGAS...MY FIRST.

16 TEAMS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD...NON STOP GAMES...THEY ALL START ON TIME.

5 STAR ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT...KUDOS !

RUGBY....FIRST TIME I EVER SAW A GAME....WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW...ONE SIDE HAS THE BALL AND TRIES TO SCORE...THE OTHER SIDE TRIES TO STOP THEM, SAME AS ALL GAMES.

OF COURSE THE GAME HAS ITS INTRACIES AND NUANCES...SOME TEAMS BETTER THAN OTHERS LIKE ALL SPORTS AND WHEN IT WAS OVER SOUTH AFRICA HAD THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

RUGBY HAS DIFFERENT BRANCHES, LEVELS, POLITICS AGAIN LIKE ALL SPORTS AND FOR THE 25,000 THAT ATTENDED EACH DAY AT SAM BOYD STADIUM IN LAS VEGAS, WE DIDN'T CARE, IT WAS THE COMPETITION AND THRILL OF SPORT THAT ATTRACTED MOST, CERTAINLY ME.

AGAIN KUDOS TO THE MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT PUT THIS TOGETHER.

JUST A DAMN A+ 101

RECOMMENDED TO THE WORLD...LETS HOPE IT RETURNS TO MY HOME TOWN IN 2012
